GP Bikes Beta 10 by Piboso

[VELOCIPEDE]

Dopo un silenzio che durava da fine settembre, il buon Piboso torna a rendere felici gli appassionati della simulazione corsaiola su due ruote, rilasciando la nuova versione beta 10 del suo ottimo GP Bikes. La nuova release, come di consueto, ci offre vari bugfix, ma anche alcune migliorie e novità interessanti, come ad esempio il supporto al TrackIR, l'opzione per confrontare gli assetti, il supporto ad HTC Vive e Oculus ed il nuovo stile di guida "moderno". Ricordiamo che l'acquisto della licenza di GP Bikes sblocca anche World Racing Series.
 
GP Bikes is a realistic motorcycle simulator, based on a scratch built physics engine that accurately simulates motorcycle dynamics and setup options.
